I keep getting Potential Identity Leak warnings when I visit sites that I've visited many times in the past. I'm using version 11.4.13. One of the sites is "answers.microsoft.com".

What changed in NoScript and how can I go to these sites without seeing the message?

Also, when trying to make a new post I get this message: "Ooops, something in your posting triggered my antispam filter...
Please use the "Back" button to modify your content and retry." No matter what I do I keep getting the message.

Why is that?

So this started when you upgraded NoScript to 11.4.13? What NoScript version were you using before?

What do you have set for NoScript Options > Advanced, "Cross-tab identity leak protection"?

Hi barbaz,

It started when I updated version 11.4.11 to 11.4.13. I don't believe I ever ran 11.4.12.

"Cross-tab identity leak protection" is set to "Enabled everywhere" (the default). I don't change anything when I update NoScript.

The default I get is "Enabled in Private Browsing only". Does changing to that help?

This morning I changed the selection to "Disabled" and that fixed the problem. I'll change that to "Enabled in private browsing" and see if that works (it prolly will).
Thank you for your help with this!

Why can't there be an OPTION to have this enabled ALWAYS but still able to set it to choose anonymous loading automatically?

I have this too since the update, but I kind of like the setting to be enabled, but we have to keep clicking "ok" each time in order to have it load anonymously.

There should really be an option that circumvents the necessity to click ok every time, lest this option is effectively useless due to pure annoyance.

I want this enabled but can't have it without being constantly annoyed by the popup.

That is an interesting idea, and would be a good idea if a couple other things would change first:

1) Currently the dialog is the only way to make cross-tab identity leak protection decisions for individual site pairs. Probably NoScript Options would need to get a UI for view/add/edit/delete the individual cross-tab identity leak protection decisions.

2) viewtopic.php?p=105923#p105923
Having that happen automatically would be bad in several ways, especially if happened without any notice that cross-tab identity leak protection took action. The Containers idea proposed in the linked thread would address these concerns too.

I too am starting to find the warnings tiresome. Not good, since this type "annoyance" tends to result in users not reading the warning enough before clicking the option(s) to dismiss it. Thanks for bringing this up.
